Former Real Madrid midfielder Isco has turned down a move to Italian club AS Roma, according to media outlet AS.

Isco, whose contract with Real Madrid expired at the end of June, was wanted by the Italian club but has ruled it out. 

Despite the offer of a lucrative contract from Roma, Isco isn’t convinced he should join the Italian club.

Jose Mourinho pushed hard to convince Isco to come to Roma but it’s understood that he wants to either stay in La Liga or join a club that can offer him Champions League football.

Spanish sides Sevilla and Real Betis have already indicated their interest in signing the former Real Madrid star with Premier League side Newcastle United also interested.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly told Real Madrid star Marco Asensio that he won’t be offered a new contract at this moment in time.

According to Marca, Marco Asensio has been given the chance to decide his future, with Real Madrid open to letting him leave for the right price this summer.

Asensio has just one year left on his Real Madrid contract and is attracting interest from several clubs across Europe.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and AC Milan are all interested in signing the 26 year old Real Madrid star.

However, Liverpool and AC Milan are thought to be the favourites to sign the Spain international

Asensio’s agent, Jorge Mendes, was informed during a meeting with Real Madrid recently that the club won’t offer Asensio a new contract.

Real Madrid have reportedly told Asensio that he can leave the club this summer or stay at Bernabeu for the final year of his contract.

Should Marco Asensio leave this summer, Real Madrid won’t sell for below £35million.
